Specifying AutoEdit Variables and Functions for CTMCAJF

AutoEdit variables can be specified for any of the above parameters. These variables are especially useful for specifying relative date ranges in the FROM and TO parameters.

AutoEdit functions can be used to set variables and these variables can then be used in the parameters of the utility. The lines in which the variables are set must have an asterisk (*) in the first column of the line. Such lines are resolved by the AutoEdit facility and are interpreted as comments by the utility. Regular comments can also be specified in lines with an asterisk in the first column.

For example,

* IGNORE MEMBERS PREFIXED WITH BR14 that WERE ORDERED

* WITHIN THE LAST THREE DAYS.

* %%SET %%F = %%CALCDATE %%DATE -3

IGNORE MEMBER BR14*

FROM %%F

The following AutoEdit terms cannot be used in the input for this utility:

%%ODATE
%%OYEAR
%%OMONTH
%%ODAY
%%OWDAY
%%INCLIB
%%INCMEM
